138 Roadside Emergencies
It is acceptable to tow your vehicle with the front wheels on
the ground (without dollies) and the rear wheels off the
ground.
ALL occupants, including wheelchair-bound passengers,
need to be out of the vehicle before it is towed.
REASON: The vehicle could become detached from the
tow truck, which could cause serious injury or death.
EMERGENCY TOWING
In the case of a roadside emergency with your vehicle where
there is not access to wheel dollies, a car hauling trailer or flat-
bed transport vehicle, your vehicle can be flat-towed (all
wheels on the ground) under the following conditions:
• The vehicle is facing forward so that it is being towed in a
forward direction.
• Place the transmission in N (Neutral). If you cannot move
the gear shift lever, refer to the Brake Shift Interlock Over-
ride instructions on the next page.
• Maximum speed is not to exceed 35 mph (56 km/h).
• Maximum distance is not to exceed 50 miles (80 km).
